`A spokeswoman for CBS Interactive said CNET retains editorial independence in covering "actual news."`
I'm sure nothing makes a tech reporter want to stay around like being told their reporting is not "actual news" and thus is not worthy of editorial independence.
- crusso 14y agoWhat is "actual news"? My only guess is that it's news that does not editorialize... in which case, what is "editorial independence" in that context? In the context of CNET, if opinions on technology isn't their actual news, they got nothin'. I'm confused.
- fennecfoxen 14y agoI believe there is a meaningful distinction which can be drawn between "prizes that CNET employees might award" and "writing about the rest of the technology world". That said, I suspect that if you're drawing a metaphorical line, than this is the wrong place to draw it.
